CURTAIN AND SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed March 23,

T all "whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL PYs, a citizen of Poland, residing at Detroit,county of lVayne, and State of Michigan, have in vented certain new anduseful Improvements in Curtain and Shade Holders, of

-which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a window curtain mounting, having moreparticular reference of this type which willpermit of easy attachmentto, or detachment from the window frame.

A further object of the in'vention, is to provide for-the verticaladjustment of the spring roller which carries the" vertically movableouter curtain commonly known as the window shade.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a front view showing the pair of bracketscomprising my improved mounting in position on a window frame. I

Fig. 2 is an enlarged face view of one of the brackets.

Fig. 3 is a side view thereof.

In the drawings represents the side facing strips, and 11 the tophorizontal facing strip of a window frame of ordinary construction thesefacing strips overlapping the edges of the window opening in the wall 12in the usual manner. A portion of the upper window sash is shown at 13.

My improved window curtain mounting comprises a pair of brackets orsupports located at opposite sides of the window frame at the topthereof these brackets being respectively of right andleft handconstruction but otherwise the same. Each of these brackets comprises ayoke plate 15 having enlarged perforated ends 16 through which extendfreely a pair of vertical screws 17 having heads 18 at their upper ends.These ends 16 may be readily formed by rolling the ends of the plate ina well known manner.

Specification of Letters Patent.

1920. erial No. 368,159.

Nuts 19 are threaded on these screws and rest upon the tops of theenlarged ends 16.

Projecting horizontally rearwardly from the plate 15 adjacent the upperedge thereof is a hooked member 20 adapted to engage over the top of thefacing strip 11 to'support the bracket from the latter. Projectinghorizontally forwardly from the plate 15 is a rigid arm 22 terminatingin a curved end 23 which forms a recess adaptedto receive the poleindicated at 2 1 for supporting the la* erally movable curtains thecurtains being suspended fromthe pole by means of the usualrings. 7

Located below the plate 15 is a second yoke-plate 25 having enlargedperforated ends 26 formed similarly to the ends 16 in which the lowerends of the screws 17 are fixed. This plate-is horizontally slotted asat 27 and a headed bolt 28 passes forwardly through this slot andthrough a suitable boring in air'angularstrap 29 this bolthaving a wingnut 30 threaded on the end thereof whereby the strap is clamped to theface of the plate. This strap 29 has a forwardly projecting arm 29'which is adapted to receive one of the trunnions of the usual springroller whereby the latter is supported, the strap shown in Fig. 3 havinga notch 30 cut therein while it will be understood that the strap on theopposite bracket will have the usual aperture therein.

The yoke-plate 15 is formed with a downward extension having a thickenedlower edge 36, which may be formed in the same manner as the ends 16 and26 to provide a suitable aperture extending from end to end thereof, ascrew 37 being threaded through the aperture and adjustably locked bymeans of nuts 38 bearing on the end of this edge portion 36. This screwhas a head 39 on one end and a bar 40 clamped against this head by a nut4C1 threaded on the screw, this bar projecting horizontally forward fromthe screw 37 which passes through a suitable opening in one end of thebar. This bar is adapted to engage the inwardly facing sides of thewindow frame to prevent the bracket from being pushed sidewise off thewindow frame, and may be adjusted later ally to fit any window frame.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A window curtainsupport comprising a pair of yoke-plates arranged one above the other,means for supporting the upper yoke-plate upon the window frame, meanssuspending the lower yoke-plate from the upper yoke-plate to permit ofvertical ad- 7 justment thereof and curtain supporting means carried byeach yoke-plate, the cur- ;tain supporting'means on the lower yoke plateadjustable longitudinally of thefplate,

consisting of an angle strap, a bolt passing through said strap andthrough a horizontal slot in the yoke plate, and a nut threaded on saidbolt.

2. A window curtain support comprising a pair of yoke-plates arrangedone above the other, means for supporting the upper yoke-plate upon thewindow frame, means suspending the lower yoke-plate from the upperyoke-plate to permit of vertical adjustment thereof, and curtainsupporting means carried by each yoke-plate, the curtain supportingmeans on the lower yokescrews passing upwardly through elements on theupper plate, nuts threaded on said screws and resting on said elements,at ourtain pole arm carried by the upper plate, a roller curtain supportcarried by the lower plate and consistingof an angular strap adjustablysecured to said plate by a nut and bolt device passing through ahorizontal slot in said plate and an arm carried by the lower'plate andadapted for horizontal adjustment.

' 4:. A window curtain support comprising a pair of yoke-plates arrangedone above the other, a hooked member projecting from the upperyoke-plate and adapted to engage the window' frame, a pair of screwshaving the lower yoke plate suspended there A from, said screws passingupwardly through elements on the upper plate, nuts threaded on saidscrews and rest ng on sa d elements,

a curtain pole arm carried bythe upper plate, a roller curtain supportcarried by the lower plate and consisting'of an angular strap adjustablysecured to said plate by a nut and bolt device passing through ahorizontal slot in said plate and an arm carried by the lower plate andadapted for horizontal adjustment,vthe means for securing said arm tosaid plate comprising a screw adjustable longitudinally of said plate towhich said arm is fixed. In testimony whereof signature.
